OS X

OS X is Apple's traditional computer operating system, and the software that powers the Mac. Based on technologies developed at NeXT, which Apple acquired in 1996. First released as a public beta code-named Kodiak in 2001, it's currently on version 10.8 Mountain Lion. The next version, 10.9, is widely expected to debut this year, perhaps as soon as WWDC 2013 in June.

WWDC will bring with it the first developer's looks at new versions of OS X and iOS; Apple VP Phil Schiller said so when the company announced WWDC's dates. According to Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac, OS X 10.9 will tout features geared toward "power users," among them better Spaces management for multi-monitor systems, tabbed browsing and more.
